- This is not public safety. It’s chaos. We cannot have secret police. We have accountability, due process, and the rule of law. Everyone involved in this violence should be held accountable. Kristi Noem should resign or be removed.
- A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for all of Western NC from early Saturday through Monday, with heavy snow, ice, and dangerous cold temperatures expected in the mountains. Please prepare now and check ReadyNC.gov for updates.
- This morning I had the chance to reflect of the life and work of a great man at the annual MLK Breakfast in Hendersonville. Folks remember Dr. King for his racial justice work, and for good reason – but I also like to remember that he was a real fighter for working people. 🧵
- It was great to be in Clay County today! My favorite part of campaigning is meeting with and hearing from folks all across Western NC. There are many perspectives, but we're all united by common values — love for WNC, love for our country, and a desire to do better. #NC11 #WesternNC #ClayCountyNC
- It was a beautiful morning in Transylvania County! Amy and I were so glad to drive down. We're continuing to visit every corner of Western North Carolina — and I look forward to meeting you and earning your vote soon! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- Earlier today, Chuck Edwards had another opportunity to join a bipartisan group to extend health care subsidies to tens of thousands of people in his district. He chose not to.
- Trust in our government is low — and understandably so. Congress must act to fight corruption within itself.
- I'm so grateful to all of my friends and neighbors across Western NC for joining and supporting our campaign. Together, we'll keep building a campaign we can all be proud of! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- The rising cost of living is impacting everyone. Things like housing, child care, health care, utilities, groceries, and other essentials have been getting more expensive each year. Working 40 hours a week should be enough to have a good life, not barely scrape by. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- Thank you to everyone who came out to our Christmas Bash last week! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! 🎄 #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- After Helene, politicians flew in from D.C., used the devastation as a backdrop for campaign photo ops, and made big promises — promises we're still waiting on them to keep. More than a year later, Chuck Edwards hasn't delivered. Western NC is tired of waiting. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #Helene
- Governor Hunt was a giant of North Carolina politics whose time in office truly made our state a better place. Amy and I are sending well wishes and love to the Hunt family and to all who knew him and were touched by his lifetime of service.
- 83,000 residents of NC-11 depend on the ACA – and right now, they could see costs go up by as much as 300% in 2026. I'm really frustrated to see Rep. Edwards won't even support a vote on extending the subsidies, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/m...
- Western North Carolina is the most beautiful place in the world, and I'm so proud to call it home. We deserve a representative who is proud to be from here — and who will put WNC over political games in Washington. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- Great visit with Black Mountain Mayor Mike Sobol and Vice Mayor Archie Pertiller Jr. today! I'm honored and excited to earn the endorsement of these two legends of Western North Carolina. #WNC #NC11 #WesternNC #BlackMountain #BlackMountainNC
- I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Buncombe County General Assembly Democratic delegation! Sen. Mayfield, Rep. Turner, Rep. Ager, and Rep. Prather are tireless advocates for Western NC — I am proud to have their support. #NC11 #WNC @pratherfornc.bsky.social @brianturnernc.bsky.social
- Did you know that North Carolina is the nation's second largest producer of Christmas trees? Nearly all of those are grown right here in the western part of our state. Buying a locally grown tree is a great way to support small farms and local agriculture! 🎄 #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- I had a great day in Yancey County with a legend Johnny Deyton who took me to visit small businesses and farms, to tour some damage of the Cane River from Hurricane Helene, and had some fellowship with a lively crew at lunch.
- I'm grateful to have the support of Clyde Mayor Jim Trantham! Mayor Trantham has led Clyde through some tough times. He knows all too well how important it is that we have representatives who will stick up for Western NC. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- Thanks to the WCU College Democrats for having me at your meeting. I'm always inspired by passionate young people! Our future is in good hands.
- It was my honor to visit with the folks over at Haywood Christian Ministry to learn more about the great work they're doing to support our neighbors in need! You can support their work at HCMNC.org
- Veterans Day reminds us of the sacrifices made to protect our freedoms. I'm proud of my family's deep history of service, including my brothers — Kevin, a Specialist in the US Army, and Eric, a Commander in the US Navy. Today, we honor them and all who have served our country.
- What a great evening out in Leicester with my friend Terri Wells and my brother Eric talking about farm and food policy! I'm always grateful for the opportunity to talk about how our food system impacts every aspect of our lives and how we can make it work better. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
- Thank you to everyone who came out to our campaign event in Madison County at the Old Marshall Jail last week. 200+ folks, all fired up to elect a voice for the people of Western NC! Special thanks to my friends Josh Copus for hosting us and Graham Sharp for bringing the fun. #NC11 #WNC
- I'm honored to have the support of Sylva Mayor Johnny Phillips! Mayor Phillips is a strong advocate for not only Sylva, but Jackson County and our region as a whole. He knows that we're building a campaign that folks from every corner of Western NC can get behind. #NC11 #WNC
- Great day with a group of local farmers discussing agriculture issues, getting to know each other and hearing different perspectives. We may not raise the same crops or livestock, but we are all facing challenges. What we can do is come together and work toward a better future!
- Amy and I enjoyed visiting with our friends at Darnell Farms in Bryson City last weekend while on the campaign trail. We hope you'll get out there and support small businesses this fall — including local farms! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
